RE: [U2] I need a favor
I guess mine is a generator based on a template. Internally it isn't real elegant, just a bunch of IF...THEN code and literal strings, but it does what I need. I did actually start with a functioning program that had some of everything in it which I stripped down to a skeleton, then broke into bits and pieces, adding the logic to reassemble only the needed bits into the output. === Norman Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.brake.com === Enroute to a decision I usually take the cynic route. === -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Barouch Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 11:24 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] I need a favor Norman, Sounds like you are making an excellent case for Brian's template idea.

RE: [U2] Another gripe about IBM not letting end users access the articles in the knowledge base - Final Result
I received an email from IBM telling me to contact our VAR and ask them to set us up. Which is what I was complaining about as we had and they (our VAR) had tried several times to do so and got nowhere with IBM's software support. Our Var also received an email from IBM regarding this from someone who was able to tell them what they needed to do which was to get a form from IBM's site, fill it out and submit it. Why couldn't IBM support tell them that in the first place? When our VAR tried to download the document, they were denied access to the document. After several emails between them and IBM and after jumping through several hoops they were able to download the document. It has been filled out and sent on its way back to IBM. Now we are waiting for the result. Complicated steps is right. In our case the process hung up because our VAR could NOT get the correct answer from IBM support, then when the right answer was given, they could not access the document they were told to get without several emails back and forth from the VAR to IBM, IBM to our VAR. There needs to be an easier why for the VARs and the end users. I want to thank the IBM personnel that responded to my compliant and helped our VAR and myself in this process. This is NOT a criticism of them but of the whole process. Again it should not be that difficult for the VARS and the end users when you, the end user are paying several thousand dollars in license fees. Quite frankly, if this was my business and I had this type of trouble after paying those licensing costs, I'd move to another product in a heartbeat and I am a UV diehard! How many UV customers has IBM lost for this reason? We've looked at Cache from InterSystems and they did a great presentation and the response to any question we had was great. We were given access to information to their knowledge base and we weren't a customer but a potential customer. I would not be surprised if InterSystems Cache because of its tools, costs, and the level of support does not become the next leader in the MV world passing up IBM and the others in the next few years. That is my personal views even though I do NOT like how Cache stores the data.

How can this structure be cleaned-up?
begin case
case Ans = 'A' ; gosub Check.A
case Ans = 'B' ; gosub Check.B case Ans = '2' ; gosub
Check.B end case
The following is more difficult to read.
begin case
case Ans = 'A' ; gosub Check.A
case Ans = 'B' or Ans = '2' ; gosub Check.B end case
I would like something like...
begin case
case Ans = 'A' ; gosub Check.A
case Ans = 'B'case Ans = '2' ; gosub Check.B end case
so that the gosub Check.B command is not repeated. I have tried a few
alternatives without a victory.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: [U2] Another gripe about IBM not letting end users access the articles in the knowledge base
Ask your VAR to ask IBM for document Accessing_entitled_IBM.pdf. It explains the process. While it was complicated at first, once you learn the process and what information IBM expects you to submit, it becomes rather routine to get access for the end users. The end user must follow some complicated steps as well and this is often where the whole process fails.

[U2] !!EASY ANSWER HERE!! Re: Move data files from Unidata to Universe
I have used this before. I recall it working well. Converts UniData files to UniVerse on the spot! Sorry was little slow in response. Still catching up from vacation... Here is a portion from the documentation... Introduction UniVerse 9.4.1 introduces a utility called udtconv to ease the task of migrating from UniData to UniVerse. This utility creates a UniVerse file from a UniData static or dynamic hashed file, using the same name and file parameters as the UniData file being converted. udtconv does not convert UniData directory files or multiple data files. It can convert the individual data files of the multiple data file structure. This utility does not run on UniData dynamic files that contain part files. Note: udtconv has been tested against files created at UniData Release 4.0. The udtconv Command You can use the udtconv command from a UNIX or MS-DOS prompt, or you can use the UDTCONV command from the UniVerse prompt. Both commands require that UniVerse be running. udtconv must be run in a directory that is a valid UniVerse account. Syntax From the operating system, the syntax is: udtconv f filename format format [save] [udt] [uv] Qualifiers filename Specifies a file. format Specifies the byte format of the UniData file being processed. The valid formats are: 1 UNIX (Motorola 68000 format) 2 XINU (Intel x86 format) 3 NUXI (VAX format) Check the FORMAT.CONV command in UniVerse User Reference for a listing of machines and their corresponding machine classes. Machine classes 0 and 16 are byte format 1 and machine class 1 is byte format 2. Enjoy!
